Sakura Fleur
Aoyama is smack in the middle of Tokyo's trendy Shibuya district, which is known for its vibrant urban landscape of billboards, neon signs,
boutiques, and night spots. A few minutes' walk to busy Shibuya
station, this mid-range hotel has 133 relatively spacious rooms
with compact Japanese-style bathrooms. Interiors are a bit
quirky, decorated in tones of soft pinks and grays with some baroque details. In-room
amenities include flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, mini-fridges, and
electric kettles. An adjacent cafe and bar serves light meals but no
breakfast. Be aware that guests undergo stringent ID
checks. Travelers might want to compare rates with nearby Hotel Unizo Shibuya, which has lighter, airier decor.

Scene
Hotel with romantic “Parisian-style” themed decor
Set
in an attractive red-brick building with 10 floors, Sakura Fleur
Aoyama's pink-toned interiors might not suit all
tastes. Described as “Parisian-style," design accents include
black wrought-iron furniture and a color palette of lilac, soft
grays and pinks, and black. A beautiful hardwood floor distinguishes the lobby, with seating that includes a black leather
chesterfield and matching black-and-red velour armchairs. A round cafe-style marbletop table, a black
wrought-iron coat rack, shelving, and pink-and-gray velvet
curtains complement the look. The hotel caters to the young crowd that gravitates to
Shibuya, and guests are mostly couples or groups of friends traveling
together. Many past guests chafe at the hotel's stringent
identity checks every time they return to the hotel and request their room keys, and the property's no-guests policy.

Shibuya subway and train stations, and its iconic pedestrian crossing
and neon billboards. There are many shops, department stores, cafes,
restaurants, and bars in the immediate vicinity.- Seven-minutewalk to Shibuya subway and train station
Rooms
Spacious rooms with dark, pink-and-gray-toned decor
The 133 rooms at Sakura Fleur Aoyama are
relatively spacious by Japanese standards, but bathrooms are small. Rooms have a soft
pink and gray color palette, with flowery detailing. Several pieces of
wrought-iron furniture (beds, coat stands, chairs) give the rooms a
romantic feel, but details like the rose-patterned desk lamps and
coffee mugs, and pink alarm clocks might be too over the top for some. Bland brown-and-black patterned carpeting covers the floors, and matching brown bedspreads can make the room feel dark. Rooms are air-conditioned and come with flat-screen TVs,
mini-fridges, electric kettles, free Wi-Fi and mineral water, which is replenished daily. Bathrooms are
small with Japanese-style fittings: electronic
toilets, plastic countertops, and small bathtubs with
showerheads. Toiletries are provided, and the toilet paper is pink. Guests complain about the smell of cigarette smoke in nonsmoking rooms and poor soundproofing, which means noise travels between rooms.
Features
On-site cafe and bar, plus free Wi-Fi
Sakura Fleur Aoyama doesn't pack in too many extras. The property includes an adjacent cafe and bar,
Antique Rose, which serves light Japanese and Western fare and drinks but
no breakfast. Wi-Fi is free throughout, and
services include laundry and dry cleaning (for a fee), and
luggage storage. Massages can also be arranged for guests, and they also come with a fee.
